Between Etsy and Pinterest, felt flowers are very popular. You can follow these simple and easy steps to make your own.

Materials

Felt squares (any color, I used green for St. Patrick’s Day)

Needle

Thread (any color)

Hot glue gun and glue sticks

Scissors

1) Trace and cut out five or six circles (Picture 1), depending on how full of a flower you want - I used four for the petals and one for the base. The size of flower you want will depend on how big your circles are. (Mine were approximately 1 ½ inches in diameter).

2) Fold the circle in half, (Picture 2) and again in thirds (Picture 3).

3) Cut several inches of thread that you will use to make all of your petals. (It’s easier to leave the needle strung than to restring for each.) At the end of the thread, make a small knot.

4) Using the needle, string the thread through the corner of your circle (Picture 4) making sure the knot stays in the felt. Sew in and out twice, and then tie another knot with the thread to secure it into place (Picture 5). You have now created one of your four rose petals (Picture 6).

5) Repeat step 4 three more times until you have 4 petals; if you want to add a 5th petal on top then make one more. Leave one circle to be used as the base of your flower.

7) Repeat step 6 three more times until you have something that looks like a flower (Picture 9). Like I mentioned before, if you want one more petal on top then you would add the 5th petal on top, I however only used 4 and I like the way it looked (Picture 10).

There you have it; your own felt rose flowers to accent any decor. I added mine to my burlap shamrock canvas (Final Picture)! Just in time to decorate for St. Patrick’s Day!
